Constantine is resurrected!
Matt Ryan will reprise his role as John Constantine on The CW’s Arrow according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Ryan originated the role on the short-lived NBC series based on the Vertigo Comics book.
Looks like Oliver Queen will face new evil that take more than arrow and fists to combat. Fans of the Hellblazer will see their dark hero again.
“We are thrilled to have Matt Ryan reprise the role of John Constantine on an upcoming episode of Arrow. Matt is an incredibly talented actor and his portrayal of this beloved character was always something we admired,” said Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim.
“The introduction of magic and mysticism on the show this season has provided a truly organic opportunity for us to bring John Constantine to Arrow and the CW’s DC universe. It will be a well-deserved tip of the hat to all the Constantine fans who were so incredibly supportive of that series.”
Arrow star Stephen Amell offered to guest star as Oliver Queen on Constantine if the series returned for a second season.
Ryan tweeted a video message here thanking fans for the support and saying the “Trench Coat is being dusted off”
Arrow returns October 7th.
